Swanage, My Dear Swanage

Swanage, my dear Swanage

You are heaven in my eyes,

A lovely part of Dorset

That to me is paradise,

*

Hewn from Purbeck stone,

Quarries, right and left,

Nature's wildest flowers

Bloom in every cleft,

*

Boats there on the slipway

And bobbing on the sea,

Seagulls circling overhead

Screaming cries of glee,

*

This bay of perfect beauty

Of heavenly delight,

A paradise on earth,

A truly wondrous sight.

*

To me it's at it's best

To see the sun rise over the sea

The mists curling over the water,

A special time for me.

*

The colours burst into life

From green to deepest blue,

The colours of the rainbow

Are here in every hue.

*

At the closing of my days

When with this life I part,

Let my heaven be in Swanage,

It's forever in my heart.
